Hobby Boss 1/72 F-14A Tomcat: Compact swing-wing fighter model

The F-14A Tomcat is a standout jet from naval aviation history, and this Hobby Boss 1/72 kit reproduces its silhouette and key features in compact form. The model highlights the Tomcat's swing-wing mechanism and twin-engine stance in accurate moulded parts.

Why modellers pick this kit

First flown in the early 1970s, the F-14A earned recognition for its variable geometry wings and onboard radar systems. This Hobby Boss release gives builders a concise project that showcases those engineering highlights, rewarding careful painting and assembly.

Display readiness and detailing

The 1/72 scale offers a good balance between detail and display size, making the finished model suitable for cabinets or group displays. With paint and adhesive added, the completed Tomcat provides a convincing museum-style miniature.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for enhanced realism
A newcomer can tackle it, though some patience is needed for small parts; consider starting with a simpler model first if you are entirely new to the hobby.
Decals are supplied to add realistic markings; research or reference photos can help with weathering and correct placement.
A set of fine cutters, hobby knife, tweezers and sanding sticks will speed up trimming and fitting; use a steady brush or airbrush for paintwork.
